The science of natural history emerged during the Renaissance as the study of nature
shifted from medicinal and practical concerns to the description and classification of
life forms. Because of their ability to represent plants and animals in vivid detail,
artists were hired by naturalists to illustrate their publications. Artists such as
Leonardo da Vinci and Albrect Durer took such an avid interest in the depiction of the
natural world that they qualify as naturalists in their own right. The same can be said
of many of the later artists included in this collection: G.D. Ehret, John M. Gould,
Pierre-Joseph Redoute, and Abraham Munting.

Organization and Arrangement

The prints were organized by the processor into the following series:

Botanical prints (family or species names of plants may also be listed)

Miscellaneous prints

In addition to a list of subject headings for each print, a genre heading is also listed,
which names the print process.

prints (58-62), which include an image of the pig-tailed monkey (62) and a portrait of
Carl von Linne (60).
